Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Scroll advises clients on how best to prepare for their transition to cloud or adoption of new software: optimising content, creating efficiencies, and avoiding costly delays and pitfalls. We work collaboratively, building stakeholder engagement, advocating for content, and planning for the migration and content creation that will follow. We design practical, lean governance processes and provide a comprehensive knowledge transfer so that you can run your project autonomously. We also supply individuals or entire teams of content experts to implement these planned activities. We can flex our teams up and down quickly to fit with the agile development phases.

How the setup or migration service works
Scroll has planned and executed large-scale migrations for government departments. We redesigned content for the flagship GOV.UK launch, merging dozens of websites into a single architecture and recrafting content to fit user needs and the new site design. We can provide expertise at various stages: strategy and technical input, IA - and a team of migration editors and content designers later. We also train staff in using their new technology and writing for it.
